Actually, NameCheap has had one of the best records in terms of defending domain registrant rights out of almost any registrar. For example, http://www.domainnamenews.com/featured/namecheap-sued-domain...

Good or bad, they aren't giving their customers up until the law orders them to do so. They've never acted as if they were the law as far as I know. So if you want to talk about walking the walk and core values, NameCheap has been doing it as far back I can remember. Their owner owns quiet a few very high profile names and cares very much about the rights of a domain holder.

Disclaimer: I may be biased, I know the owner and think very highly of him.

I too have been a satisfied customer for years. After reading that article about the court case I think even more highly of them now.
